Chapter II: Contacts
(2555 – TWO YEARS AFTER HALO EVENT)
Deep within the bowels of the broken UNSC ship Forward Unto Dawn lays Humanity's one of the best soldiers known to the beginning and the end of the Covenant war, lies sleeping in his pod. Waiting for him was his A.I. Cortana, she has been with the Chief for a long time and some would say she is loyal to him even when he's in his cryo pod. She wished that something would just happen that way she would have an excuse to wake him up…
Until now…
*BANG* The alarms activated, this is what she wanted to happen being alone for two years can be concerning. She stood up from her crisscrossed sitting position, summoning the ship's manifest and scanning on what did that. No signs of life forms on the ship; she almost seemed disappointed by this, it was probably a meteorite that hit the hull of the ship. Just as she was about to give up hope on waking John up from his slumber another *BANG* happened again, this repeated five times until it stopped. She checked the ship's sensors again but this time detected what appeared to be machines that were not only moving around the ship but also looking for survivors. This was Cortana's chance to finally awaken the Chief after so long of waiting she loads the screen of the cryo bay and she scans each cryo pod until she found the Chiefs pod, she hesitates to click the REACTIVATE button but eventually pushes it.
"Wake up Chief" she turns to look at his cryo pod to see it defrosting him. "I need you."
*Ugh* the Chief slurs, awakening from his slumber. He slams both his hands against the glass that held him in; "Chief! Easy, you've been out for a while."
"Where are we?" he asked, sleeping for a long time can cause a panic to the person.
"We're still adrift on the Dawn" Cortana stated, while she was working.
"Why did you wake me?" Chief asked; he knows that Cortana was supposed to wake him up if someone found them.
"Hang on. Bringing your systems online now" she declares. "I rewrote your suit's firmware while you were out."
"You've been busy" Chief said astonished while looking over his suit.
"Activating the ship's gravity generators" in doing so the voice of the ship said "Partial systems restoration" meaning that the ship in some areas have been restored while others remain a void of space, Everything that was floating in the cryo bay ended up falling to the ground. "Chief – look up. You need to pull the manual release."
Chief did so, once he pulled the release he pushed the glass door open and walked out and goes to the terminal Cortana was in.
"Seems like old times" Cortana happily said.
Chief agreed with her on that "Ready to get back to work?" he asked.
"I thought you'd never ask." Chief pull out Cortana's memory unit from the terminal and inserts it to the back of his helmet, he felt an icy cool liquid that was a way to describe every time he puts Cortana's chip in the back of his helmet where a slot is. Once he did that he grabs his assault rifle and headed out. "The reason why I woke you is that we've got boarding craft on the ship."
"Is it friendlies?" Chief asked.
"Not sure, scans show it to be some kind of machine only way to be sure is the Observation Deck – four floors up" she said, setting up a waypoint on where to go. Chief was not surprised seeing how they've seen machines that are live like, like the sentinels on Halo.
"How long was I out?" he asked as he passed one of the corridors.
"2 years, 2 months, 19 days," she stated.
"Somebody should have found us by now." he passes the map room on the ship and heads towards the next room. "How close are we to the Observation Deck?"
"It's directly above us," Chief made it to the waiting area for the elevators. "The elevator doors looks sealed tight" knowing this, it was no problem for the Chief since the augmentations gave him superhuman strength he managed to pry the doors open. "Chief, be careful," but what the Chief didn't account for was him to be sucked in the elevator shaft and latch on the walls with his hands, "Because some areas might of lost pressure."
"Right," He cursed himself for not thinking about it. He slowly manages to climb up one floor above and did so successfully and the doors to the elevator shaft closed behind him, but what he didn't account for was the droid that was looking right at him. The droid was about to take aim and shoot but with Chiefs reflexes he managed to sprint and yank the droids rifle and tosses it, goes behind the droid wrapping both arms around the neck effectively and rips the droids head off, "Time to go to work," he muttered to himself.
"Chief, there are a few more machines left on Deck," Cortana advised.
(Location… The Triumphant, Section… The Bridge)
"General we lost communication with hunters 1, 2 and 3." what the droid got in response was an annoyed growl from him. The general turned to his lord and master Count Dooku.
"So the survivors are putting up a fight," he said, before Dooku could respond one of the droids interrupted him.
"General, incoming 3 republic cruiser inbound on our position," the droid said.
"Send out a few more hunters on that vessel while we deal with the republic," and with that the orders were carried out and the droid sent three more hunters to the vessel.
(Location… Forward Unto dawn, Section… The Bridge)
"That's the last of them," Cortana said as Chief dropped the last droid that was in the room. "Find the override for the blast shields so we can see what we're up against." Chief did so and went to the control panel and hit the button. Chief waited for the blast doors to fully open up to see a red gas planet and a...
"Cortana what is that?" Chief asked the fact that there is a massive ship that in terms matches the size of a covenant assault carrier.
"I don't know never seen a ship like this before, doesn't belong to anyone we know," while they both were watching they saw two ships inbound that came from the vessel, "at least we know where they're coming from." they watched as both the ships landed on the Forward Unto Dawn with a *CLANG* and machines started to walk out from it.
"We need to get off this ship," declared Master Chief.
"Head for the elevator banks," she said.
"Didn't the ship's sensors say we still had weapons systems online?" chief asked remember he accessed it when he was travelling through the corridors.
"Yes but since the ship was torn in half, we can't access the weapons stations. We'll have to fire them manually from the outer hull," and so they went off to manually launch the missiles, chances are they will spot droids along the way. Chief also noticed they used some type of energy weapon that shoots red bolts, they merely flickered the Chief's shields, it was almost like being shot at by a covenant plasma pistol.
(Location… The Triumphant, Section… The Bridge)
Some distance away; three Venator-class Star Destroyer, exited out of hyperspace led by General Plo Koon, even though the Jedi have problems being called generals since they just prefer to be peacekeepers of the galaxy. Just as they arrived to the Abregado system, Plo sees two ships one belonging to the separatist and the other was the ship that needed help.
"The enemy ship has reduced its speed, General," commander Wolffe stated.
"They must have realized we are tracking them or the ship with the survivors."
"The fleet is holding its position, sir," he stated again much to the Jedi awareness. 'I can see that commander,' Plo thought. Since both of them were looking through the decks view ports.
"I think it wise to report our position before we attack," and with that both of them turn around and walked to the holo-projector.
"Skywalker's fleet is nearby, in the Bith system."
"Good, perhaps he can reinforce us," Plo Koon suggest, knowing he could possibly use his expertise when the time comes.
"From what I hear, Skywalker's always ready for a fight," Wolffe said in amusement.
"So I've heard" Master Plo says, as he moves to the console and hits a few keys that displayed both Master Skywalker and his padawan.
"Koh-to-ya Master Plo," greeted the little Togruta, Ahsoka Tano.
"Koh-to-ya, little 'soka," Master Plo has known Ahsoka since when he found her and brought her to the Jedi temple.
"How's the hunt for the mystery weapon going?" Anakin asked.
"Good, we've also located the ship that has the survivors but it's close to the separatist ship we have doubt that the survivors are dead, hopefully not," Master Plo said, "We will also need reinforcements."
"I'll have to ask the council, Master Plo," Anakin stated knowing that if they left their position it could jeopardized the task that they were set out to do. "I was given strict orders to protect our staging area."
Right then and there the transmissions started to produce static preventing them from communicating with each other.
"What is wrong with the transmission?" he asked commander Wolffe.
"There's too much interference, sir. We've lost 'em."
(Location… Forward Unto Dawn, Section… Outer Hull)
"The auxiliary launch station should be to your left out of the airlocks," Cortana said. "You'll have to prime the launch for ignition." with that the airlocks door seal shut and releases the air so that when they go outside they don't get sucked into the vacuum of space.
The door opens and John runs out, shooting the droids that were near him with the assault rifle. Even though it's somewhat a close to medium range weapon he was having trouble shooting the droids that were farther away. He shoots left to right eliminating five of the robots that were closer to him; he then crouches down behind the wall that served as a barricade; it took him a few seconds to notice but right there next to him was BR85HB-SR basically the battle rifle; it's fires three bullets per trigger, and boy Chief sure was glad he could use it.
He checked the BR to make sure it was fully functional before firing the weapon. Sure enough he started killing the droids in CQC and long range, it took him a while but he got it done. "Chief the ships shields are down. Assuming they don't raise them, that missile's going to be one heck of a blow."
"Noted," Chief said take out the last eight of the droids before heading towards the control panel.
"Chief, there are ships inbound via light speed?" Cortana was confused for reasons unknown to her how could a ship go fast than light speed. "How is this possible?"
"Relax Cortana, are they reinforcements from the enemy?" he asked, so that Cortana can focus on the issue at hand.
"No, not relating in any way maybe we can hail them for help I'll set up the communication," while she was doing that Master Chief made it to the missile control and set up the coordinates, he activated the missile. "Launch initiated." the missile popped out of its hole and was prepared to be fired… "Great the blast door's jammed. The missile won't fire until it's cleared, get down there."
Chief ran towards the objective only to be blocked by two ships that dropped eight more droids. Chief knew that the bullets were not supposed to be used for robots but this was an exception, considering the situation he was in. Chief took cover from the shots that the enemy took, once he reloaded his BR stood up and shot three of the eight there.
"Chief, There's a massive energy source piling up on that ship!" Cortana panicked. "If they take out our only chance of help then we're dead."
"On it," Chief made a break for it; he threw a frag at the three droids that were close to each other and blew them up while he shot the last two in the head and reloaded his Battle rifle.
"Chief I scanned the ships weapon and they're launching an electromagnetic pulse device, a whole new definition of EMP; if you hurry up we can still save them."
Chief went up and pushed the release that was holding the missile down. It was finally cleared and then it launched.
"You did it! Get back."
(A few minutes before in the Malevolence…)
"General Grievous, this will be a suitable test for our new weapon," Dooku declared. "You may fire when ready."
"Yes, my lord," Grievous couldn't wait for the death of many to come. He was checking the percentage of the Ion cannon he was waiting until it went to 100 percent "Fire!" the weapon fired and it headed straight for the Republic ship, its roundness like a shield that when any ship goes through it they lose all power to their ship and anything unfortunate to enter its path.
"What was that!?" Grievous demanded, as the whole ship shook from whatever hit them.
"It came from the vessel near us," the B1 droid said.
"Fire cannons at the vessel," he demanded.
"We can't we've taken too much damage the only thing that is still active is the hyperdrive and- GAH!" Grievous backhanded the droid destroying it and look to his master.
"Grievous if we want to live through this I suggest we leave, we have underestimated our enemy that shall not happen again," Dooku said. "Put the coordinates for separatist airspace, we have failed to keep this ship hidden from the Republic."
(Current time…)
"Brace for impact!" Plo said to all members aboard his ship and they all did as they were told and saw that the energy went through every single one of their ship.
"We're losing all our power," Wolffe panicked. "That energy field has left us defenseless!"
"Commander, look," the General said pointing towards the vessel that was calling for help, had launched a missile of its own and hit the top center of the ship, they were surprised of the outcome and the separatist started to flee with a badly damaged vessel.
(Outer Hull…)
"Chief the ships leaving, it's surprising how that ship can take a beating," Cortana examined it upon further inspection and then left the system, then Cortana looks at the other vessels that have been down for some time "It'll be a while for them to start their ships back up; I'll hail them right now that when they pick up they can help us."
"Understood," he goes back in the frigate and now our hero waits for the ships to help him out and try to help him get home if they can.
ok so hopefully I don't copy from both the original which I regret. and most of the lines like "general said" stuff like that I regret.
but being able to post it for you guys I don't regret. now I can start mixing it up a little.
I hope you enjoyed it.
